Isn't the answer well know (improving education and encouraging critical thinking), but unsatisfying because it is hard to implement and changes only crystalize slowly? If everyone were to e.g. request sources for claims instead of taking them at face value that would act similar to a CAPTCHA and prevent the spread of misinformation.

My understanding is that that is only the case for items which are bought as components. Items which are bought complete inside a single box have to be replaced as such. For example, the assembly guide for the classic Billy has no item numbers listed apart from connectors - https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/assembly_instructions/billy-bookc...

Question is, why don't scientists just put everything on public platforms (read: github) and call it a day? Is it only a matter of funding, or do other factors also play a role in that?
There is no equivalent focal length to the human eye.

It depends on what you are doing with the eye. For example, when you are focusing on a single thing, like a person talking to you, then a picture with a 50 mm (135) lens generally looks sorta similar in terms of proportions and perceived perspective. But if you are taking in the scenery, a 50 mm lens would seem to be too narrow and you need a moderate wide angle to convey a similar feel. Similarly, intently focusing on a distant object will make a 50 mm seem to broad, and a 105 mm will seem more like it.

The wikipedia article about LZ4 says that compression is slightly worse, compression speed is comparable, and decompression can be significantly slower compared to LZO. Can anyone enlighten me why I should not used LZO? I do not know anything about either algorithms, but if I switch from deflate I want to mak the right decision.

I think this has been coming for a long time, and has been needed, silencing the press and world leaders is what put a nail in it. Thank Jack Dorsey for that. But with great wealth comes great flexibility, these companies won’t be reigned in overnight, they will evolve and stay ahead of the regulators, at least for a while.

In a sense a flat earther creating a rocket to test straight lines at 100000 feet are more interested in the truth than someone that just laughs at them. Also if the flat earther then decides the earth is round will have done more science and is more intelligent on the subject.
The way it works where I live is that if the tax office has to refund you some money (or the government wants to give you stimulus money, or whatever) is that by default it gets deposited to the bank account that was last used to pay any tax that was owed. There are always going to be oddities (e.g. a refund needs to be given to a person who has never paid tax, or you have changed bank accounts since then), but the vast majority of the time this will be the right account to send it to, and it's OK to have manual intervention to handle the rest.

I'm not sure I understand why the USA can't do this, to solve the first problem listed (paying people directly). I'm not sure it requires government intervention to solve the other problems (instant payments from one person to another are common outside the USA, for example). What other advantages does SSN-as-bank-account have?
I think a key point here is "productive lending". You still need banks to have vested interest in loaning out money that they think will be paid back. Thus banks need to verify the credit-worthiness of the borrower, the collateral and consider the economic outlook.

If you remove the banks and the government lends indiscriminately or with an agenda with no market interest, that's instantly a broken system for malinvestment and corruption.
But the minds clearly direct the people, messing with their psychology and constructing scenarios where the people see no other option than doing what the minds want. Given that the minds are so much more intelligent, that they fully control the means of production, that they guide the development of people from birth, and that any deviancy in thinking of both people and minds is corrected, isolated or excised by the more powerful minds you have to wonder whether the culture is just one big mind trap.

And maybe that’s the whole point, that any culture shapes the thoughts of the people that are a part of it. Banks tried to design a context most able to let people develop their thoughts in a benevolent way. The people in the Culture are free to think and do anything, but they don’t because they are guided from birth not to consider some ideas.
Sure, many resources should probably be enabled by default (e.g., read-only access to /usr/lib), or globally selected by OS profiles, for example. Apps can also declare sets of permissions that the users will be able to override as they like, and that would be really helpful.

My point is that the security must not be enforced by the package distributors. This is what happens when they ship containers, as snap and the like, and it is a disgustingly wrong policy. Security must be enforced by the OS, under the total control of the user, and with reasonable defaults.

Because that may introduce new biases around smaller universities from India, Russia, China who already have issues getting things published. As a former scientist in a smaller Russian uni publishing was already difficult and it saddens me to see a couple of bad apples ruining it for everyone.

I agree.

And the more centralised the banking system is, the weirder the incentives become / banks are somewhat decoupled from the incentive to lend to credit-worthy / promising businesses (like here in the UK).
I once used Tcl/Tk and am glad to see it’s still out there.

I’ve recently thought of using it again for fun.

I’m constantly amazed, but shouldn’t be, at how things like Tcl/Tk, that are used by various businesses to create applications, don’t take off into the mainstream.

I think about all of the effort today on the web using JavaScript. That’s using a language that could hardly do anything 25 years ago. But it wasn’t OS-specific, so it beat its competitor, VBScript, and later beat Applets and now Flash. I think the momentum that inspired V8 and development of great sandboxes, etc. was that JavaScript early on was fun for those that were creating their own webpages.

Tcl/Tk wasn’t fun, and neither were Java’s AWT nor Swing. So, maybe that’s why they didn’t stay around.

However, JS isn’t that fun for me either, these days. Constantly learning to do it “correctly” takes a lot of effort.
Organised efforts to sway public opinion using technology is not a conspiracy theory, it's present reality and if we don't watch for it and err on the side of caution, it will only get worse.

The stance that this is not worthwhile and that no measures should be employed to mitigate it is negligent at best.

No. Letting hate like this fester is more like not treating a disease even when you see the symptoms, and arguing that it is better to know the disease is there. It makes no sense.

This kind of hate SPREADS. Letting it be normalises it, and lets it spread. The antidote to this kind of thing is for the rest of society to loudly and clearly reject it, and make it very obvious it is not acceptable.

Letting people keep spreading their hate does the exact opposite.

Indeed workers rights in the US are among the weakest in the developed world. As shocked as I was at the weak protections in the UK when I moved here, even the UK is magnitudes better in this respect.

Yet this kind of worker hostile environment is what US voters keeps voting for.
My experience as well! I've tried btrfs as root filesystem (because I wanted checksummed root and btrfs is easily available out of the box) a few times every now and then, last time probably 1-2 years ago - invariably it always somehow f*cked itself up sooner or later.

In contrast, I never had a single non-hardware-related problem with ZFS in maybe decade of using it for NAS. It's totally rock solid! I've recently figured out how to do unattended root on ZFS setup to provision my PCs and never going back to btrfs no more.

Yup, I was taught this as part of graduate school.

Nobody ever said it was fraud, they said things like they wouldn't share the data and I couldn't replicate.

In general, the incentives for shoddy science (get Nature papers or find a new career) tend to reward bad behaviour, and I just wasn't able to find something unexpected and pretend it had been my hypothesis all along (it's almost impossible to publish a social science paper where you disconfirm your major hypothesis).

Free speech is not a "constitutional concept" whatever you mean by that. Free speech is a philosophical concept that has been embedded in the US Constitution as the 1st Amendment.

The US Founders thought that people must have the ability to speak their mind, to discuss and challenge each others ideas. They thought this ability was so important they enshrined it in law.
DNA can’t bootstrap itself, so to say. So previous cell-functionality is required for everything, so you can only re-instantiate an entire organism if you have a denucleated pluripotent cell from an evolutionary close enough organism. (But correct me if I’m wrong)

Sure. But it really means IKEA is the biggest single owner of forests, apart from the owner who owns 40 times as much as IKEA does.
Yes, lens compression is how people colloquially know a variety of perspective distortion (foreshortening). I have a background in optics and there is quite a bit of lingo discontinuity.
I went to a few talks by Banks and he mentioned once that a fan went to a book signing of his and was somewhat disappointed that he seemed such a nice guy - given how dark some of his books are (e.g. The Wasp Factory).

The fan even apparently discussed the matter with Bank's mother who was at the event who confirmed that Iain was "a lovely wee boy".

Saw him a few times in Edinburgh - never had the nerve to say hello - really wish I had now!

You have entire gold mining illegal operations with heavy machinery deep in the forest without any law enforcement to halt them. Murder of indigenous locals in clashes with illegal miners is also not uncommon. Similarly to coca farming in Colombia they simply relocate to another unknown location periodically.

Even assuming good faith from Brazilian law enforcement/military the remoteness and shear size of the rain forest makes it a huge challenge to enforce any rule of Law.
Math has a different problem. Because of the wide breadth of the field, and highly specialized nature of problems, it can take a very long time for anyone to actually verify a result with confidence. If ever. Unless you’re doing something famous like P!=NP, there might not be many people capable of checking your work in a reasonable amount of time.

The story of Fermat’s Last is a great example, what would have happened if that wasn’t a famous problem?

Plenty of comments noting that this isn't quite an oranges-to-oranges comparison between the AMD and the Apple hardware.

In any case, maybe the real story here is one of Intel's complacency, and AMD and Apple are both exploiting it, just in different ways.
Yes. Much faster. Especially for HDDs. But at a cost of a lot of RAM.
Also lz4 compression can speed up your HDDs up to 10x (!) to read and 3x to write. [1, see "To compress, or not to compress, that is the question" section.] But it's going to have a considerably higher CPU usage as well.

Correct. It’s more like a bring-your-own-car ride sharing (which already exists here, SnappCar) but a lot nicer in all aspects.

They estimate covering the cost of the car in 1-2 years, so you won’t be expanding your fleet that fast... there is a lot of discussion about this online, a lot of comments here cover that too. It’s just a step, eventually they won’t sell cars to consumers anymore.

Over the last ~10 years, I've put around 800$ into Kiva. From that, 188 loans for a total value of 5000$ were made.

A bit more than 300$ went into Kiva donations (you can choose for every loan, to cover administrative costs). 20$ went to currency losses. 80$ went to default losses.

The default losses are 10% of what I put in, or 1.6% of the total amount lent. And I explicitly chose a few loans that were explicitly marked as high-default-risk, because of the social situation of the recipients or due to the political/economic situation in the region.

I cannot confirm that my money dried up in default losses. I still think it's quite a good model (but I haven't followed economic research about microloans in the last few years).

Edit: I grew up in the amazon region, parents worked in an NGO. Giving people gifts/donations is worthless to most, since something gifted feels like it has no value. If you build a water well for free, it will be broken in a few months to years. If you make the village pay a part of the costs on the other hand, and if they must help building it, they'll value it more and keep care of it. It's a cultural thing. I could imagine that loans work the same way: You don't get a donation, you'll get a loan that you have to work for. In that culture, it will be valued more. (Of course, that applies to the region I grew up in, I don't want to over-generalize.)
This is up to a browser. I believe a browser should give you an option to decline all such requests by default, without asking you each time. Just like you can browse the web with JS disabled, without images, etc.
On the other hand, those extractors are operating on licenses issued by governments. So in principle, one could add that do their license, and they would just have to deal with it. A challenge is that the market is global, while licenses are given out by nations. So requires alignment of many nations for it not to be a competitive burden on a few producers.
I'm used to not holding back at all and asking as many questions as I please. I did this in school, I did this at university, I do it now at work.

At some point, I think it was the second year of university, it occurred to me that I was the only one asking questions in my physics class. And then it slowly dawned on me that this wasn't restricted to this particular class! Come to think of it, I seemed to be the only student doing any talking.

I turned a bit red in the face and realised I might have been making a fool of myself. After the lecture I quietly slinked over to the professor and privately apologised for wasting his time with so many questions.

He had this confused look on his face and then he very quickly corrected me: "Oh no! You have it all wrong! We love it when students ask questions! That means they're engaged and listening!"

I actually didn't entirely believe him, until ten years later when I was teaching a bunch of junior techs how to program in PowerShell. I was faced with a room full of blank stares and slow blinking. Except for one guy. He kept asking questions. Question after question.

I loved that guy: I knew he was listening. I knew he was trying to understand.

In that moment, I finally understood my university professor's comment.

I admit that Nomad is a fair middle ground due to its clean DSL and also because of the homogeneity of their workloads.

The team at OpenAI used the k8s api to make extensions around multi-tenancy (across teams) to saturate available allocations, task specific scheduling modifications which were not supported by the k8s scheduler.

I don't know if Nomad has this extensibility. Their plugins were around device plugins and tasks when I last looked at it.
